“Where real crises abound, disaster nationalism is enthralled by entirely fictional crises. And, inasmuch as it presents itself as a solution, it’s also palpably hankering for a world-shattering, cleansing crisis: bring it on.” 🔥 @wesinjapan.bsky.social we need to talk about this!

A big thank you to our IAS Fellows for this week, Professor Liberato Ferrara & Dr Estefania Cuenca Asensio, for their talk on Sustainability and Concrete, now on our YouTube Channel here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZIK...

I've chosen to publish in @jds-disasters.bsky.social because that's where some of the most critical conversations in disaster studies are taking place. What was my first clue? @kschmutina.bsky.social told me so!

So I asked @ajfaas.bsky.social why he decided to write for the @jds-disasters.bsky.social - and apparently it’s all my fault 🤪💙 youtu.be/wV40D9y7IqM?...
